Dead giveaway.

I've Googled "Toby Alderweireld is happy". Except not the word happy. Another word. That means the same. But also means something else. Personally I think he'll be pleased he is now in the navy. And white kit of Spurs.

We need to nuture the next generation of Alpines, and I like this guy. He made a strong start with his rants where he clearly demonstrated a laughably pitiful lack of understanding about how ticketing works for the incredibly popular last game of the season. Exceptional work. And now he's taking it up a notch. This is a serious talent we've got here. Like Fergie with Giggs back in the day let's not put too much pressure on the lad. He needs time and space to develop into the all-consuming walking clusterf uck of knee jerk ing total idiocy that Alpine has grown into. But I can see he is going to get there.

No we don't and clearly we won't be signing another one.

Not really. Just wildly over - interpreted by people on here. He gave a vague politician style "no concrete deal done" statement and the forum went nuts. "This trumps everything!". Or, no.

Like Wyclef Jean did not say, he'll be gone by September.

Brilliant. You got yourself a thread right there. It needs a grand title, and there is an obvious one. "Everything is easy in hindsight"

You don't say.

Completely agree.

His name was Cuco Cuco Martina He's got a name like a drag queen-a He came from Twente Where he played plenty Football and passion were always in fashion for the Cuuuuu-coo Third choice right back (Clap clap clap clap clap)

Exceptional stuff. Well done boys.

Too many people hear Champions League and miss what Les, Ronald and Ralph say over and over and over again. We can't and won't be competing with the bigger clubs on fees and wages. The Champions League thing is just a little dream that if we all pull together we might just do it, like we kind of nearly did in the season just gone.

Why on earth would that even exist? Wait for the interview on the THFC website. I think he'll be really impressed with facilities and the manager and of course I know some of the lads already and I am joining a big club with a proud history and passionate fans and once the gaffer had spoken to me I knew and I can't wait to get started and

That's annoying. I need his meltdowns to start about 6 am on a weekday so I can get him all dealt with before I get to the office.

Seriously? All he says is a very vague "no concrete agreement yet" - classic politician's answer. I wouldn't expect him to say anything else.

Nah, well behind it. Cant keep up on a work day. FWIW, I'm less convinced by the Dad/agent thing vs every media outlet saying he's had a medical. I'm resigned now.

If (if) he has had a medical at Spurs then that feels to me like it's over. You can't force someone to have a medical at a club they don't want to join. Even if, at best, he is ambivalent about joining Spurs then still no real pressing need to have a medical. I think I am now firmly in the "he's gawn" camp.

That Guardian piece seems pretty unequivocal to me. Very difficult to see how he is going to end up anywhere else other than Spurs now. Balls.

Scrolling gets in the way of trolling.

Well, maybe. But the general theme about FFP and unfairness and how awful it is that those other clubs have more money than us only ever flows in one direction. Us looking upwards at the top 4. Maybe our incredible good fortune of being owned by a billionaire and raking in Premier League mega-dollars is a trifle unfair to, I don't know, Barnsley or Yeovil (or Newport). The system is a crock of sh it, I agree, but let's remember we are beneficiaries of it, not victims. We're effing well loaded.

Yes, but not quite - the FFP thresholds are defined by the turnover of the clubs, not by any hidden force/discrimination. As well as the misinterpretation of glass ceiling I also don't accept that financial fair play is somehow unfair to us. I don't want us to be spending stupid money we don't have, and if there is a mechanism to stop us and other clubs doing it, then good. Tottenham has a bigger threshold because they are financially bigger than we are in ways that can be quantified, perfectly fairly. Everything - our strategy, and football legislation- points to us building the club sustainably, which thankfully is what we're doing.

You've generously rephrased the question, and then answered it with the same response 99% of normal people on here would give and is essentially what Les Reed has been saying for years - it is exactly what Cortese used to say as well. Cortese always said we would never compete financially with the bigger clubs. That's partly why Alpine gets short shrift, because this has been done to death and everyone should really understand our strategy by now. Calling our best finish for 25 years "an intolerable situation" and other such emotional garbage does help him. There's most people that can understand our strategy and then there's a handful of dins forever refusing to accept that we haven't got the "ambition" to p iss millions and millions of pounds away on players and wages like they do when they play their computer games. We're the best run club in the land and still they grizzle.

We've discussed your perception of "ambition" before, which essentially boils down to "that woman has got loads of money so why doesn't she keep spending and spending it until my football club gets into the Champions League". So don't make out you have "ambition". It's just toddler foot stamping. No idea what FFP is or what you were right about. Many, many congratulations though.
